Answer:

There are 16 Oak tree in the forest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: There are 4 Oak tree on every 10 pine trees.

           There are total 24 more pine tree than Oak tree.

 Using the ratio of trees to find the number of trees.

Lets assume there are total number of Oak tree be "x".

∴ Total number of Pine trees will be "x+24"

We know the ratio of Oak to Pine tree is 4:10 or \frac{4}{10}

⇒\frac{x}{x+24} = \frac{4}{10}

Multiplying both side by x+24

⇒ x= \frac{4(x+24)}{10}

Using distributive property of multiplication, distributing 4 with x and 24.

⇒ x= \frac{4x+96}{10}

Multiplying both side by 10

⇒ 10x= 4x+96

subtracting both side by 4x

⇒ 6x= 96

dividing both side by 6

⇒x= \frac{96}{6}

∴ x= 16

Hence, There are 16 Oak trees in the forest.

What is the peremeter of this polygon? (With picture)
lyudmila [28]
Check the picture below.

so.. simply, use the distance formula, to get their length an add them up, and that's the perimeter of the polygon.


\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\\
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\\
&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})\\
&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}

\bf -------------------------------\\\\
d=\sqrt{[2-(-1)]^2+(4-2)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(2)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{3^2+2^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{13}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
d=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-2-4)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{1^2+(-6)^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{37}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-2-3)^2+[-3-(-2)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-3+2)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-1)^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{26}}

\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
d=\sqrt{[-1-(-2)]^2+[2-(-3)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-1+2)^2+(2+3)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(1)^2+(5)^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{26}}

so, those are their lengths, sum them all up, that's the polygon's perimeter.

Seventy million pounds of trout are grown in the U.S. every year. Farm-raised trout contain an average of grams of fat per pound
STatiana [176]

Complete question is:

Seventy million pounds of trout are grown in the U.S. every year. Farm-raised trout contain an average of 32 grams of fat per pound, with a standard deviation of 7 grams of fat per pound. A random sample of 34 farm-raised trout is selected. The mean fat content for the sample is 29.7 grams per pound. Find the probability of observing a sample mean of 29.7 grams of fat per pound or less in a random sample of 34 farm-raised trout. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.

Answer:

Probability = 0.0277

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mean: μ = 32

Standard deviation;σ = 7

Random sample number; n = 34

To solve this question, we would use the equation z = (x - μ)/(σ/√n) to find the z value that corresponds to 29.7 grams of fat.

Thus;

z = (29.7 - 32)/(7/√34)

Thus, z = -2.3/1.200490096

z = -1.9159

From the standard z table and confirming with z-calculator, the probability is 0.0277

Thus, the probability to select 34 fish whose average grams of fat per pound is less than 29.7 = 0.0277
